What is Tang Soo Do?

Tang Soo Do combines all the elements of a challenging and highly skilled sport with the ancient traditions of self discipline and respect. Whether you want to learn a new skill, keep fit, make new friends, improve your self confidence, or just have some fun, Tang Soo Do is a great choice. Families are welcome - our students of all ages all train together.

Varied approach

A great balance of different techniques, combining kicking, blocking, hand to hand combat and self defence into a single style.

Great for families

Tang Soo Do is suitable for all ages from six upwards. We all train together, both young and old, because we believe that this is a better way to learn.

Beginner friendly

It's all about maximising the potential of the participant in a relaxed manner. We encourage everyone to do their best with hard work and commitment.

Safety first

All our instructors have undergone PVG disclosure and enhanced disclosure certification, and have First Aid training.

Skilled instructors

Master Duffy has been involved in Tang Soo Do for over 25 years. She is assisted in class by other senior members of the club.

Self defense

We learn how to defend ourselves at close quarters, how to throw an attacker or disable them using a number of grappling and holding techniques.
